Professional, knowledgable, and flexible tour operator who will help you plan your dream trip!
Brilliant Adventures and Safaris lived up to their name by helping my wife and I an amazing safari trip in September 2026. Lightness (Sales Manager at Brilliant) helped us look at all sorts of different options to suit the length of trip, budget and key things we wanted to see and do. All questions and itinerary change requests were replied to promptly with clear details of how each option would play out. We must have gone through 5 or 6 different versions before picking one, and his helped us plan confidently over the year or so leading up to the trip.
We ended up having flight issues on the first day of our trip, but Brilliant kept in touch with us and made last minute adjustments to ensure we were picked up from a different location and able to get our plans back on track. Once we arrived, Lightness took us through our trip details again to make sure our expectations were met; it's clear that they wanted to ensure we had the best time, and we did!
During our trip we had everything we could need, and all of our various activities, lodges and hotels all taken care of. Our driver Joshua was a pleasure to spend time with, as well being a consummate professional. Excellent driving kept us safe, with a well maintained vehicle stocked with snacks/drinks etc for our long days out.
Top quality service from a very professional team.

Patient, kind and knowledgeable.
Lawrence was very patient and ensured we tracked the animals. He drove safely to and from Lake Nakuru.
He was very professional and safe at all times. I completely recommend that you can book Lawrence as a group and as a solo traveler. He’s a great tour guide!

Axis Africa - experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated guide was undoubtedly one of the BEST.
Our Maasai Mara trip was truly an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that credit goes to our wonderful driver and guide, Saddam.
From the beginning, Saddam was extremely friendly, supportive, and professional. He was especially wonderful with my 7-year-old son, making him feel comfortable and keeping him engaged throughout the journey. His friendly nature and positive attitude made us feel like we were travelling with someone we had known for a long time.
Saddam is very knowledgeable and understands the Maasai Mara incredibly well. He is also well connected with other guides in the reserve, which made a big difference during our game drives. We were extremely lucky to see lions, a group of lionesses, lion cubs, a leopard, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, and many more beautiful animals.
What impressed me the most was his ability to spot wildlife and understand exactly where to take us. At times, I was genuinely amazed at how he could identify the exact location and get us there at the right moment. Thanks to his experience and efforts, I was able to capture some of the best photographs and videos of our entire trip.
The driving was smooth, the journey was comfortable, and every game drive was exciting. Saddam was always patient, supportive, and willing to make the extra effort to give us the best possible experience.
I must say, Saddam is one of the best guides you could have for a Maasai Mara safari.
Thank you Axis Africa for assigning him for our trip. He made our family trip truly special and turned it into a lifetime experience that we will always remember.
Thank you once again, Saddam and Axis Africa, for making our Maasai Mara adventure so wonderful. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience and memories
Great experience ! The tour went without issues from the moment we got picked up at Kilimanjaro airport to being dropped off back at our hotel in Arusha.
The 4 day safari was amazing ( we saw the big 5 and many more animals) thanks to our tour guide ‘Damian the legend!’
If you are considering doing a safari, I would defiantly recommend Suricata safari.
Thank you Damian and Suricata.

Fantastic! Highly recommended.
I had a wonderful experience with Elephant Herd Safari, our guide Smiley was incredibly knowledgeable. He ensured that he understood our aim (big cats) and delivered to the best of his abilities. We felt safe and had an amazing time. We saw the big 5 plus wild dogs and even a cheetah. Highly recommend.

Lifetime experience not to be forgotten
Gosheni Safaris was one of the most recommended options from our research online, and after speaking with their consultants, we decided to go ahead with booking an itinerary.
Maliwaza was responsive and managed to accommodate our requests for specific lodges and travel plans and crafted a 13 day itinerary that covered the best of Kenya and Tanzania.
However, the huge shoutout and highlight of our journeys has been our safari guides, Naheed for Kenya and Huruma for Tanzania.
Both have been a wealth of knowledge and extremely friendly and welcoming and have made our honeymoon trip one of the best trips ever. We have seen countless animals and breathtaking scenery that leaves us already thinking about our next trip.
